For the 19th time in the history of HLRS, the national research community using the HPC computing resources of HLRS met in Stuttgart-Vaihingen for the annual HLRS Results and Review Workshop. During the two day event with 66 attendees, the participants were given the opportunity to present and discuss the research projects they had been working on over the last 12 months. Of all projects presented at the HLRS Results and Review Workshop, the steering committee of HLRS chose three particularly excellent ones to honor them with a special trophy: The HLRS Golden Spike Award.
At this year’s event on October 13. and 14., 2016, a total of 23 talks plus 22 poster presentations had made it on the agenda of the review workshop hoping to be considered for the annual Golden Spike Award. Decision criteria for the selection of the three outstanding research projects include:
- Scientific relevance (top in their research field)
- Imperative of high performance computing for their research
- Optimal usage of HPC equipment in terms of optimization, parallelization and overall performance
- Presentation format of the results at the Review Workshop.
Awards
Prof. Dr. Christoph van Wüllen of University of Kaiserslautern, Member of the HLRS steering committee, announced the following three research projects as winners of the 2016 Golden Spike Awards:
